I stopped by Gordon Park for half an hour
today @ 2:45.
 
Thousand? Gulls everywhere - Ring-billed and Herring
     flying non-stop and perched @ marina - LOUD!!
 
Hundreds of Red-breasted Mergansers (males at least 5x more abundant)
Dozens (2-3)of Hooded Mergansers
     none near shore - at least 50 yards out
     great colors
 
Cormorants (1-2 dozen)
     flying back and forth
 
Mute Swan (1)
     against breakwall in the marina
 
Green-winged Teal (8-10)
     in the marina near the docks - very wary
 
Mallards (less than a dozen)
 
Not any birds near shore but i did walk out on the breakwall toward the east 
'til it ended and there were quite a few closer-up looks at the birds. I actually
found a Canada Goose already sitting on a nest just inside the breakwall in the
marina.
